Thanks, I wasn't aware of the lower down payments and interest rates.

I am looking for advice from the community on how to evaluate the Tenants business and statements for company financial strength/viability.  

.- If you are rehabbing to flip/sell, there may be State disclosure laws you need to be aware of on the Disclosure Statement.
